[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hi,

I'm confused why white space isn't being ignored:

MALLIKA-MBP:~ mallikab$ diff -w 17 18

3c3

<   Product:      fec-secure

---

>   Product:      fec-secure

MALLIKA-MBP:~ mallikab$

I have diff (GNU diffutils) 2.8.1

both on my Mac as well as the Linux box at work


What does "Ignore all white space" mean?

That I'm still gonna get output?
